I've Been Tagged: 7 Random Things

I was tagged by Jana Funderburk @ eyestowardethiopia.blogspot.com

Seven random facts about me...

1. A grew up in the Dairy Capitol of the United States~Hopkins County, where every year is crowned a reigning Dairy Festival Queen, where there is a Dairy Museum, which even inspired some friends of ours to construct a home in the style of a barn (it's actually QUITE amazing). So that's one both weird and random fact

2. Despite this, I grew up to be extremely aesthetic and ended up getting a Master's degree from an art/education school in New York City,...

3.... although one of the more fun things I did in New York was to go out and buy my first guitar at Manny's Downton, where all the big rockstars by their guitars, and I learned to play while sitting on the garden roof of my building, admiring the New York City sky line.

4. While Jana detests moths, I detest bees! Just look at my recent post "A Bee in Your Bonnet".

5. I married a younger man! Six years younger! And they say that women tend to live six years longer than men, so that should set us up for a long and happy life together.

6. So, I have Attention Deficit Disorder,... but it seems to have gone dormant. Maybe my stress level is down therefore the ADD tendencies aren't as strong...But believe me, I've had my moments. Some time I'll have to tell you about the picture frames outside of SteinMart moment with my friend, Jana, the one who tagged me! Jana and I understand eachother. :)

7. I am an art teacher first and then on my own journey as an artist, mostly for my own pleasure, but occasionally do things for my church. And the craziest thing I attempted thus far was a set of over thirty, gigantic--4' x 9 ' hand batiked wall hangings, which were hand painted with hot wax and triple died in my bathtub then rinsed out on a tarp in my backyard, several times under stars at midnight. It was the craziest fun, (emphasis on craziest).

So, I am now going to tag the following friends: Stepahnie Johnson, Sarah Bianchi, Robyn Areheart, Genevieve Alexander...I'll think of more and post them tomorrow!
